I cannot see it happening Tom, if indeed this next fight's going to be against Derek Gainer.He's a 36 old who spent most of his career fighting at least two weight classes lower and he's very inactive, which probably has led to the weight gain.I suppose his record of 24 KO's from 41 contests is pretty decent though.It's just becoming typical of Khan's promoter though, letting fight over the hill fighters who used to be featherweights or guys that are feather fisted.These people aren't going to get him ready for a world title fight.
There's a young guy from Manchester named John Murray.He's the current British champion at Khan's weight and he's undefeated.After his last fight he called Khan out and said he will face anytime he likes.Khan was up for it but funnily enough his promoter wasn't.I think Murray has the skills to beat Khan, he's a very good inside fighter with power.He reminds me somewhat of a young Ricky Hatton.This is a fight that needs to happen.Khan's not even proved his the best in this country yet, let alone the world.
